Overall very good condition. The shade appears to have been sensitively repainted at some point in the history of the piece and presents with a homogenous white coating throughout and with some very fine surface scratches to the metal. The shade is adjustable. The pull chain is in excellent condition and was functional at the time of cataloguing. The brass surfaces are in age-appropriate condition overall and present with some light oxidation throughout. The caning appears to be original and is in stable condition. The base appears to retain its original painted surface with some small scattered losses to the paint. This lot has been re-wired to American standards. Sotheby's does not guarantee electrical components and recommends having all wiring inspected by a licensed electrician.
